The Horse Sense Blog compares the nonsense in today's news with good ol' fashioned horse sense

“…I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.… It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.” - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it." - George Orwell

What Would A Leader Do?

We have a problem in this country. We need someone to lead the country and we don’t have a leader to do it. The people who are attempting to lead our nation are showing absolutely no signs of true leadership. The economy is still down and people are really hurting (No, we’re not on the edge of another recession. We’re still in an economic slump and I think it’s more of a depression than recession if you look at it objectively.). Long-term unemployment is high and continues to be a major problem. Businesses are still laying people off, struggling to pay their bills, and hoping to keep their doors open. People are still losing their homes to foreclosure. Everywhere you look things are tough.

At times like this is when people in leadership positions show whether they are cut out for their job. In my new book, Many Are Called But Few Can Manage: How to Succeed in Management Where Most People Fail, I talk about the 17 characteristics of a true leader. Each one is specific and a part of the character of a true leader. Without those characteristics you show you’re not really cut out to be a leader.

One of those characteristics is the ability of a leader to put themselves in the place of others who are struggling, hurting, and suffering. We don’t have that in the people who are attempting to lead our nation today. We have people who are only worried about retaining their power. There is no concern shown for the populace, for businesses that are the foundation of a solid and growing economy, for the country and its future. We need to look back and remember what the reaction of great leaders are to circumstances as difficult as we face. One of those was the father of our country, George Washington, who said, “Let your heart feel for the affliction and distress of everyone.” We need another Washington.

How Should Christians Vote in 2016?

While Donald Trump got the vast majority of the Christian vote in the primaries, now that the primaries are over some who did not support him are struggling with their vote. What should they do? Can they eliminate their responsibility by saying they wash their hands of the election results and either not vote or vote for a candidate that is guaranteed to lose? Or if they look at the Bible will they find that, like Pontius Pilate, they cannot wash their hands of their responsibility? Well known Christian radio and TV host had Janet Parshall on his show to discuss it. You can click here to go to his Facebook page with her excellent response.

IMPORTANT: Candidate Eligibility Is Nothing To Ignore

A lot of people scoff at the issue of candidate eligibility. It's no laughing matter. Because it wasn't taken seriously in 2008, we've had severe changes in our government from which we may never recover. Now, in 2016, we are faced with serious eligibility problems among the Republican candidates. I've spent months pulling together the information included in this lengthy paper. It is an important issue and you should be informed BEFORE YOU VOTE.Click here to read and/or download this information.
